Patron Felding Auntie of the Garb Finished Enough To Wear

[kiya]

It's not done yet.

Arthur has continued to help -- see, he's minding the scissors for me. Lennon has also helped; he sat on the project briefly as was his catly duty, then stole my spool.







The design is from this site -- see the thing in the sidebar labelled 'Draped dress New Kingdom'? That's it.

I don't think the cord I have tying it at the waist is really visible in the photo; it's there. I need to get a clasp for the top half of it, a brooch or pin, and then I'll be able to move my arms more freely without it falling off.

(jikharra said I did a good display of how one shrugs out of a robe earlier, which I consider illustrative of this point.)

I think that the fabric they used back then was a bit less opaque, but I suppose warmth is necessary in Massachusetts. :)

Also I couldn't find sixty-inch white fabric in any natural fibers. (Grumble.)

Oh, that's really annoying. I wonder where one would find stuff like that?

It looks nice. And I love the pictures of Arthur helping.

Mmm, pretty. Hi, you! :) Also, cat helping pictures = ADORABLENESS, not that I'm a pushover for kitties or anything. ;)
